Antique Early 20th C William & Mary Style Priscilla Sewing Storage Cabinet Stand

Description

Another 20th century non-survivor is the “Priscilla” – a utilitarian sewing stand that appeared in the early 1920s, apparently named for the treadle type sewing machine of the period and its accompanying magazine “Modern Priscilla.”

Makers introduced the Priscilla as a low cost replacement of the more elaborate Martha Washington sewing cabinets. Eventually it became an art form unto itself in the 1930s. By the end of the 1940s the lightweight little box with the hinged lid was gone.
